The Supplier of the Year – Training & Education award is designed to recognise suppliers who invest a great deal in education programs aimed at industry benefit. The nominees on the shortlist for this year’s award have indeed delivered on that promise. Maidaid Halcyon, MKN, Panasonic, Parts Town, and Rational have invested extensively in their educational programs to boost the industry’s growth. With a vast range of product resources and technical guidance to ensure end-users receive the most accurate advice and guidance, the nominees have provided their dealer partners with all the necessary resources and technical guidance to support end-users efficiently. By equipping dealer partners with these resources, suppliers can guarantee their customers get the most accurate advice and guidance on all their purchases.
The ‘Supplier of the Year – Business Development’ award, recognises suppliers which have significantly developed their operations and is hotly contested. Covering everything from strategic investments, recruitment, sales development, and dealer support, the award recognises suppliers that have expanded their capabilities in the UK market.
